Life Is... More Good-Natured Here

Southern Delaware is the perfect playground for outdoor adventurers. The natural beauty of the area is
captivating. Our ocean beaches have consistently achieved
5-star ratings from the Natural Resources Defense Council.

WE SPARKLE! Surfing, skimboarding, beach
sports and, of course, sunbathing are high on the
list of activities for visitors.
CAPE HENLOPEN STATE PARK offers miles
of beautiful hiking/biking trails that meander
through coastal marshes, pine forests, and along
ocean beaches. You’ll find a fishing pier, a coastal
fort, museum, Frisbee golf, campgrounds, a nature
center, cycling, hiking, and more.
Don’t miss the scenic GORDONS POND TRAIL
that connects Rehoboth Beach with Lewes! This
trail can’t be beat for pure, unspoiled coastal
beauty.
TRAP POND STATE PARK, also with many
beautiful trails, is a wetland forest and home to the
northernmost natural stand of bald cypress trees
in the U.S. Have you ever taken a pontoon boat tour
of a cypress swamp? At night? You can do that
here in Southern Delaware!
PRIME HOOK NATIONAL WILDLIFE
REFUGE draws hikers, photographers, and birders
— we’re right smack in the middle of the Atlantic
Flyway, so the birding is phenomenal.
The NANTICOKE RIVER in western
Sussex County — the most pristine tributary
of the Chesapeake Bay — provides countless
opportunities for recreation and sightseeing too.
Love boating, sailing, kayaking, parasailing,
kiteboarding, stand-up paddleboarding, hiking, and
biking? You’ll find all of that — and more — right
here.
